Best time to call Singapore from London (and vice versa)

The window in which both cities are inside their 9:00–17:00 working day runs from 09:00 to 10:00 in London, which is 16:00 to 17:00 in Singapore: 1 hour of overlap per day. For a call that disturbs nobody, aim for the middle of that window.

Outside that window, the practical rule: mornings in Singapore are afternoons in London. Avoid any hour that falls before 8:00 or after 21:00 in either city.
